Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- What Genealogy Search/Research Did You Do Last Week?

 It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 


 Your mission, should you accept it(cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to

1)  What genealogy search/research did you do last week?  Did you have a research goal or plan?  Tell us about one or more search/research session.

2)  Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.


I didn't do any research last week, but the week before that, I did a little research on my 2nd great-uncle, Jesse Jay Barton. I reviewed old research to possibly explore new avenues on his experience in an orphanage with his brother, Oscar. Last year, I found a newspaper article about the arrest of my potential 2nd great-grandmother, Rosa Mott, which could play a part in why Oscar, Jesse, and Clara were placed in children's homes. I have to write an email to the Broome County Historical Society to see if there are any jail registers/ records from the early 1900s. And possibly find court records for Rosa’s two arrests, one in Broome and the other in Tioga County, New York.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's  Saturday Night  -  time for more  Genealogy Fun!   Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to: 1)  We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research. 2)  Which ancestors would you like to talk to?  What questions would you ask?   3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook.
